This band have done some amazing albums and live gigs,yet they seem to be undiscovered by many people
They are fantastic and are getting better and better for me they deserve more attention

Are you kidding?  PT are one of the most prominant prog bands in existence right now.  It would be quite difficult for them to have MORE fans.

Porcupine tree and DT are the two most discussed modern prog bands here. Sure they're not big mainstream, while they have the potential, but who cares, great musci go's for those with great taste.

Yeah, they're more popular than Caravan, still not as popular as they should be though. Both bands should have more fans, but people like bad music, what can you do.

PT are getting more fans by the minute. Prog isn't popular anyway. I saw them twice this year..1st at a small club/bar the 2nd was a sold-out amplitheater...go figure.

What is with these new posters?

If they got more exposure they'd be more popular.  Just the public would much rather listen to Hannah Montana, Kanye West, and Fall out Boy before they listen to an intelligent band like PT.

If PT got more popular with that crowd, I'd be worried. The people who listen to the stuff you listed are beyond conversion... unless PT makes some sort of minimalist album, that's danceable and/or full of "catchy" hooks left and right

Shhh.... let's keep this a secret. God know what will happen if Radiohead and Muse fans discover Porcupine Tree.
